Hydrogen storage in the form of liquid organic hydrides, especially N-ethylcarbazole, has been regarded as a promising technology for substituting traditional fossil fuels owing to its unique merits such as high volumetric, gravimetric hydrogen capacity and safe transportation. However, unsatisfactory dehydrogenation has impeded the widespread application of N-ethylcarbazole as ideal hydrogen storage materials in hydrogen energy. Therefore, designing catalysts with outstanding performance is of importance to address this problem. In the present work, for the first time, we have synthesized Pd nanoparticles immobilized on carbon nanotubes (Pd/CNTs) with different palladium loading through an alcohol reduction technique. A series of characterization technologies, such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometer (ICP-AES), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and transmission electron spectroscopy (TEM) were adopted to systematically explore the structure, composition, surface properties and morphology of the catalysts. The results reveal that the Pd NPs with a mean diameter of 2.6 +/- 0.6 nm could be dispersed uniformly on the surface of CNTs. Furthermore, Pd/CNTs with different Pd contents were applied in the hydrogen release of dodecahydro-N-ethylcarbazole. Among all of the catalysts tested, 3.0 wt% Pd/CNTs exhibited excellent catalytic performance with the conversion of 99.6% producing 5.8 wt% hydrogen at 533 K, low activation energy of 43.8 +/- 0.2 kJ/mol and a high recycling stability (> 96.4% conversion at 5th reuse).

Unveiling the morphology dependence of ceria nanocrystals for boosting low-temperature cyclohexane oxidative dehydrogenation

Jinling Wang, Chao Wan, Dang-guo Cheng, Fengqiu Chen, Xiaoli Zhan

Summary: It has been demonstrated that tailoring the oxygen vacancy concentration by controlling the morphology of CeO2 is an effective strategy for constructing high-performance catalysts for oxidative dehydrogenation reactions. This study investigated the morphology dependence of ceria nanocrystals for low-temperature cyclohexane ODH and found that the variation of oxygen vacancy concentration with morphologies led to different reactivity. Temperature-programmed re-oxidation and reduction tests showed that the prepared catalysts had different replenishment and consumption capacities of active oxygen species, which significantly influenced the catalytic performance.

Revealing efficient catalytic performance of N-CuOx for aerobic oxidative coupling of aliphatic alkynes: A Langmuir-Hinshelwood reaction mechanism

Jun Tang, Bowen Jiao, Wei Chen, Fei Ruan, Fengfeng Li, Peixin Cui, Chao Wan, Minh Ngoc Ha, Van Noi Nguyen, Qingping Ke

Summary: This study reports a novel approach for the effective synthesis of unsaturated coordinated N-doped copper oxides (N-CuOx) catalyst and demonstrates that N-CuOx catalyst, as an additive-free and cost-effective heterogeneous catalyst, exhibits highly catalytic performance for the direct oxidative coupling of aliphatic alkynes. The key to achieving efficient oxidative coupling of aliphatic alkynes lies in the synergistic effect of N species and uncoordinated O/Cu species caused by N dopants, which follows the Langmuir-Hinshelwood reaction mechanism. The N-CuOx catalyst shows a similar yield of approximately 89.1% for the hexadeca-7,9-diyne under mild conditions and demonstrates stable reusability (5 cycles), displaying significant advancements compared to traditional copper oxides. These findings highlight the importance of heteroatom dopants in the design of efficient copper catalysts for the synthesis of naturally occurring 1,3-diynes.
